Can Piperacillin / tazobactam influence milk supply or can Piperacillin / tazobactam decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Answer by DrLact: About Piperacillin / tazobactam usage in lactation
Limited information indicates that piperacillin produces low levels in milk that are not expected to cause adverse effects in breastfed infants. Tazobactam has not been studied in nursing mothers. Occasionally disruption of the infant's gastrointestinal flora, resulting in diarrhea or thrush have been reported with penicillins, but these effects have not been adequately evaluated.
